INSPIRATION THURSDAY, RUSTIC GARDEN FENCE

Anyone who has read the blog for any length of time knows of my love of fence designs. Which one we end up with at the farm and where? Only time will tell.

Until then, I'll collect images of styles I like and someday, I'll be able to look back through my blog and go "oh yeah, I want this type of fence or that type of fence." As for this one, I love the use of rustic timber and the it has the mesh screening/fencing to keep animals out. Of course the flowers certainly add to it as well. Check them out! I don't think we have any straight timbers like that on the farm, but I suppose it could be trucked in.

I love that look! I use the plastic mesh fencing around my garden (and for a gazillion other garden uses). Love the stuff. It's inexpensive and oh so forgiving. One drawback is that I have to also use the folding wire fencing along the entire bottom, or my dogs can push right under it. The lower railing on the one you show would stop them, but it wouldn't keep smaller animals, like rabbits or rodents, out.

It's a great look huh? Good idea about the plastic mesh, I've seen it in the store and never of course had a need for it, but perhaps someday soon. No dogs to worry about but there ARE rabbits out there. My initial garden beds will just be raised and I'll fence them individually and then maybe next Fall we can fence the garden area. I'll have to remember that mesh.

Random goats roaming in? Luckily our property is surrounded by good fencing so whatever animals lurk on the other side wills tay over there. Goats are cute but probably not when they are eating up your plants, ha.

I like that rustic look, I also like the white painted picket type fencing. I wouldn't know which to choose, but as I'm living in rented accomodation at the moment, the problem isn't about to rise - ha ha

Oh my, you need to look back through my inspiration Thursday posts, I've posted lots of picket fence pictures too, I want them all. White picket and rustic, ha. I think the property is big enough to figure out some sort of mix, we'll just have to see. No rush I suppose, though I'm sort of instant gratification at times, ha. Thanks for stopping by!! Come back soon!!

About Me

Born in the city, raised in the city, work in the city, but long to live in the country...so, we bought an old farmhouse on acreage in the country, and now the journey begins. This blog will share that journey, as we hope to become more self sufficient and eventually move away from the hustle and bustle of the fast paced life we've led. Along the way, we'll share ideas, photos, plans, recipes, crafts, and hopefully get a lot from you all as well. Welcome to the great state of Texas and our farm, Seda Bolsa Farm!
